UPDATED: Apple Siri corrects 'Chris Cuomo' to 'Fredo Cuomo' after viral video
Washington Examiner, Aug 14, 2019

Any Apple iPhone user who attempted to obtain details about CNN host Chris Cuomo from Siri received a surprising correction Tuesday.
 
When users used the voice feature to inquire about Cuomo's age by asking "Siri, how old is Chris Cuomo?" The Apple virtual assistant responded on Tuesday, "Fredo Cuomo is 49 years old." Siri is said to source information from Google to provide answers to voice questions.

It is not yet clear how the change was made or who is responsible for the edit. Cuomo, the younger brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, condemned being called "Fredo" after a weekend altercation in which a Trump supporter called him the name. Fredo is the brother of Michael Corleone in The Godfather movies, and often associated with being the lesser sibling of someone powerful.

Chris Cuomo once referred to himself as ‘Fredo’ in radio interview

...Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.”

“There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.”

“Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response....
